If you ask mewhat having the BBF scholarshipthat Iwas awarded, the answerwould simply be:the rescueof my life, it was thelight at the endof the tunnel, that firstglimmerof dawnaftera dark and stormy night. I cansay thatwhen I startedthis adventure Iwas a person withlow self-esteem, I had always hear that improvementfor womenwasdenied,that the womanwas onlyan instrument, I can say thatmy attitude andthoughts have changeda lot. BBFhas given me thisfamily experience where, I have brothersand sisters(many), a wonderful motherand a great father. We grew up withallthose experiencesthroughconferences, talks, walks and activitiesof living thathave made us growand learn,andalways with thatunconditional support, timely andwise. Today I know thatI will benot onlyadedicated andverygood administrator, butI'll be abetter personand a goodhuman being whounderstands that"no one is as poor, thattheyhave nothing togive,because you can givea smile, a hugandsome adviceand of course all your love.

"This phrase wasthe greatest giftgiven to me, which is why weknowthat the futurewill certainly bebetter andthatthis scholarshipreallychanged my lifeandchangedthat of manyaround me. Thank you forthis beautifulandgreat experience. BBF deservesall my respectand admiration. I love you.
